My trusty student aide perused the database and found a bunch of the mathy-sciency ones. If you don’t feel like combing through yourself (or don’t have the aide to beat all aides), you can find them on my del.icio.us account.

At Andy’s suggestion, we’ll be reading #106 at the conclusion of the Pendulum unit.

If a pendulum’s swinging quite free
Then it’s always a marvel to me
That each tick plus each tock
Of the grandfather clock
Is 2 pi root L over g.

Hmm… it just occurred to me that talking about limericks with high school freshmen might not be such a good idea.

A very belated Thank You for posting this! I used some of the limericks on the cover pages of exams this semester, and ended up passing along the link to those who were particularly happy to read math limericks. 🙂
